Utility functions for requester implementatons used in @gitbeaker
@gitbeaker/requester-utils is a utility package designed to facilitate HTTP requests, particularly in the context of interacting with GitLab's API. It provides a set of tools to simplify the process of making authenticated requests, handling responses, and managing configurations.
Authenticated Requests
This feature allows you to create a requester function that automatically includes authentication headers in your HTTP requests. The code sample demonstrates how to create a requester and make a GET request to fetch projects.
const { createRequesterFn } = require('@gitbeaker/requester-utils');
const requester = createRequesterFn({
host: 'https://gitlab.example.com',
token: 'your_access_token',
});
requester.get('/projects')
.then(response => console.log(response))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
Custom Request Configurations
This feature allows you to customize various request configurations such as timeout settings. The code sample shows how to set a custom request timeout.
const { createRequesterFn } = require('@gitbeaker/requester-utils');
const requester = createRequesterFn({
host: 'https://gitlab.example.com',
token: 'your_access_token',
requestTimeout: 5000,
});
requester.get('/projects')
.then(response => console.log(response))
.catch(error => console.error(error));
Handling Responses
This feature provides a way to handle responses and errors effectively. The code sample demonstrates how to check the response status and handle errors.
const { createRequesterFn } = require('@gitbeaker/requester-utils');
const requester = createRequesterFn({
host: 'https://gitlab.example.com',
token: 'your_access_token',
});
requester.get('/projects')
.then(response => {
if (response.status === 200) {
console.log('Projects:', response.data);
} else {
console.error('Error:', response.statusText);
}
})
.catch(error => console.error('Request failed:', error));
